Chapter 64: Before dawn (3)

"What did you find?"
"Yu Wangnian poisoned his wife."
It was Jin Cheng who was calling. His voice sounded a little distorted on the phone, and he was a little bit panting. It can be seen that there was a bitter fight just now.
"I can tell you responsibly that Yu Wangnian is the master of the mansion," he said.
Tang Cuo asked, "How is your side?"
Jin Cheng "Ghosts can't be killed, maybe they need to be overkill, but my requiem doesn't work very well. The second floor is completely dark, and there is nothing ghostly and invisible. I'm afraid there is a ghost. If the lady was really poisoned by her husband, it would be possible."
"Is there a way to go up?"
"You are giving me a problem."
Jin Cheng hasn't seen such a copy yet, it's because all the bosses are concentrated on his own, without any discussion at all.
"Slap!" The chandelier overhead was overwhelmed and burst out again. The already dim living room was even more gloomy, and the humming wind blew through the window, whispering like a ghost, and crying.
No, there are ghosts who are really crying.
Direction on the second floor.
Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows, but still ridiculed, "Do you know what I should call this copy? It's called "Gui Zhai Panic"."
Tang Cuo can only say "Congratulations."
"The piano room is also on the second floor?"
"Basically concluded."
Jin Cheng knew that he had to go up, fortunately he was here, otherwise he would finish the game. He settled down and glanced at the half-closed door of the kitchen, where there was a ghost.
The female ghost who had just been run away was still there, and she retreated to the toilet on the first floor and disappeared. There is also a middle-aged male ghost in a suit wandering in the corridor, depending on his age and dress, it should be the housekeeper of the mansion.
The "Ziz" current sounded again, and the call could be interrupted at any time. But what Jin Cheng cares most about is that the game has started for an hour, and there are only three of them from start to finish. How about three more?
Tang Cuo was also thinking about this issue, but none of them mentioned it on the phone and exchanged some other information. The current interference increased and the call was interrupted.
Qi Hui hurried up to ask what happened, Tang Cuo did not explain much, and walked up to the second floor.
On the second floor, the door is fully locked, except for the communal toilet at the end of the corridor. Only one of the locked rooms is open, which inevitably makes people care.
Qi Hui had searched it before and found nothing. Tang Cuo looked again, but saw the clue.
There was a bit of minced meat in the bathtub's water outlet.
The meat is raw and still fresh, but the blood has been washed away by the water, and you have to get close to smell the blood from the water outlet. What meat will appear here?
Answer the meat left when the corpse was broken.
The windows of the whole house are closed, and only the window of this toilet is open, perhaps for ventilation.
Who is dead?
and many more.
There are ghosts in this copy, and people will become ghosts after death. If a corpse-breaking case really happened here, then this person must have great resentment when he dies, and he will become a ghost.
Where is the ghost?
Tang Cuo Huo Ran raised his head, looking at the mirror like in many horror films.
"Ahhhhh!" Qi Hui, who was the first to scream, raised his hand at the mirror with a shot. The bullet almost wiped Tang Cuo's head and flew over. "Kap" shattered the mirror into fragments.
In the broken mirror, the ghosts that seemed to be pieced together by countless corpses also split into countless pieces. The face was half green and white, and the eyes were crimson. Because the face was also pieced together, it was not pieced together, so Even men and women are almost indistinguishable.
"Fuck." Qi Hui's hand holding the gun was shaking, and he quickly fired a few more shots. At the same time, he looked around with caution, fearing that a ghost would suddenly appear.
Tang Cuo looked quietly, suddenly thought of something, and stooped down to search in the toilet.
At this time the mirror shattered into a sparse roar, and the ghost disappeared. Qi Hui wiped his cold sweat and subconsciously approached Tang Cuo to gain a weak sense of security. "Brother Tang, aren't you afraid? What are you looking for?"
Tangcuo "secret."
Qi Hui "Is this still to be kept secret, Brother Tang, I am yours..."
Tang Cuo didn't bother to explain.
He said "secret", not to keep Jihui secret, but to find the secret hidden in this toilet. Was the man separated in the toilet because of what he found here?
The housekeeper has a record on the small blackboard
Reception of guests at 9:30
Judging from the freshness of the minced meat and the smell remaining in the toilet, the murders will not happen too early or too late. The time at 9 or 10 am is just right.
Although the ghost shape is terrible, it is difficult to see the original appearance, but after Tang Cuo's careful observation, it is still possible to judge the age of the man or the woman.
It was a man with yellowish hair and no curls, and his age should be between young and middle-aged.
Of the known men in the mansion, only Yu Niannian, the housekeeper and the attic guests are male. The attic guest is a curly hair, excluded; according to Jin Cheng's description, the housekeeper ghost wandering in the corridor is black hair, and it is excluded, that is only left for the year.
Without excluding the presence of other male characters in the mansion, Yu Wangnian and the guests at 9:30 are still the most suspected.
But Yuwangnian was the owner of the mansion. If he was killed, he could not cover up the past with corpses alone. Tang Cuo's intuition told him that it was the unlucky guest who died here.
Within a few minutes, Tang Cuo found a piece of paper in the broken mirror fragments. This piece of paper was torn, and the tail was hooked on a small nail raised behind the mirror. It looked like someone accidentally dropped a small half of it when pulling the paper from behind the mirror.
There is a word on the note.
—Will you leave? Your Wan Wan
The previous word is gone, only half of the word "qi" is left, but you can still see which word. Seeing the meaning of these words, it seems like "Wan Wan" wants to elope with whom.
Why are small notes that can be eloped hidden behind the mirror in the public toilet on the second floor? Who is Wanwan?
Tang Cuo walked out of the toilet with a note and stood in the hallway looking around. Here is the end of the corridor, the wall on the right hand side, and the road to the attic on the left hand side.
There is no bathroom in the attic, only a simple toilet covered by a curtain. The resident was kept inside for half a year. It is impossible not to take a bath, so the most likely place for him to take a bath is here-this is called regular ventilation.
"Who is Wanwan? She wants to elope with someone? Hey—" Qi Hui gasped, "That wouldn't be the adulterer just now. This was discovered by the master and then the adulterer was killed?"
The adulterer’s reasoning also sounds reasonable, but on the premise that the person is not a loft guest, another adulterer appears, and the story is too arrogant.
Moreover, Tang Cuo felt that the words on this note were strange and uncomfortable.
Qi Hui also said, "Will the ghost not run out? What if the physical attack is useless to him? I can't be mentally attacked!"
This remark reminds Tang Cuo that Jin Cheng has no way to kill ghosts, and they may be even more helpless. There was still the last forty minutes from twelve o'clock, and they didn't even know where the door of the piano room opened.
What is the most important thing in this trip? It is twelve movements.
"If you're afraid of ghosts, use fire." Tang Cuo said quickly while walking downstairs.
"Use fire? How to use?" Qi Hui chased behind.
"Don't you have a lighter?"
"Is the lighter used here?"
Tang Cuo guessed, he wouldn’t die anyway.
Qi Hui weighed again and again, still decided to believe the big brother's words, but how big a lighter can fire, he ran to the kitchen to dismantle the broom, wrapped it in a broom pole with cloth, and then dripped oil, made a simple torch.
It doesn't matter whether it is used or not, it is a psychological comfort.
Tang Cuo glanced at his posture, afraid to burn the whole house, glanced coldly, "Go find a clue."
Brother Qi Hui is terrible.
Tang Cuo passed the living room several times while searching for clues. Yu Guang glanced at the phone subconsciously, but the phone didn't ring. After a few times, he suddenly realized that he had become too dependent on Jin Cheng recently.
Shaking his head, he turned back into the maid's room.
This room is too clean. Not to say how clean it was, but there was no clue.
Tang Cuo searched back and forth twice here, and found nothing valuable, but he did not believe in evil, turned his head back, stared at the mess after the house was rummaged, and pondered his arms.
What role will a young maid in her twenties play in this story in the mansion?
What clues will her value be reflected in?
In the end, Tang Cuo turned his attention to the pile of clothes. These clothes have her own, the material and style are obviously deviated, and there are a few pieces of the host's clothes, the buttons are missing or there are some minor damages, and she will sew them.
Tang Cuo picked up a shirt and a cheongsam and compared them carefully. There are no blood stains or stains on the clothes, and there is no entrainment. The only thing that can be noticed is the stitches.
The clothing is also maid-made. The white shirts belonging to men are sewed with very tight stitches and they are very attentive, while the cheongsam is slightly sloppy. What does this mean?
Based on the TV series and various anecdotes that Tang Cuo has watched before, does this majesty have a crush on the master?
Tang Cuo has not always understood the emotional issues between men and women. When I was a detective before, I could find his emotional problems, either cheating or cheating, which is basically not a good thing.
Whether the maid really took a fancy to the old man and wanted to climb the branch, regardless of it. Tang Cuo didn't believe there was no other clue in this room. He simply pulled the sword and unloaded the bed board and wardrobe.
Qi Hui was passing by in the living room. Hearing the sound of tearing down the house from the room, he was startled, thinking that the ghost came out and hit Tang Cuo. Just about to come forward to help, the rush of the phone rang.
"Why don't you all get together!" Qi Hui rushed forward to answer the phone.
"Hello? Brother Jin!"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Tang's partner! Don't worry about this, Tang has hit the ghost! I won't tell you that I have to help--" Qi Hui Huo Ran turned his head, just wanted to put down the phone, but was right on top Tang Cuo's expressionless face.
"Lying Groove." Qi Hui's heart almost burst into shock.
"Give me." Tang Cuo reached out.
Qi Hui trembled and handed the phone to Tang Cuo, his gaze kept glancing behind him, "Ghost, ghost? Did you run away?"
On the phone.
Jin Cheng heard the movement over there and asked "how?"
Tangcuo "It's okay."
Jin Cheng "When did you change partners?"
Tang Cuo "?"
Jin Cheng couldn't hear his answer, he knew he was trying to communicate with himself using brain waves, but he couldn't help but endure, "I can't see your expression, maybe you can describe it to me?"
Tang Cuo "..."
After a few seconds of silence, he replied "No change."
Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Since he didn't change, why did he claim to be your partner? Isn't your partner me?"
Tang Cuo "Because you are not here."
Jin Cheng "Oh."
Suddenly there was nothing to say.
The two then entered the topic.
Jin Cheng said, "I've seen it on the second floor. Most of the rooms are locked. I went in and I didn't lock it, but I didn't find the piano room. The housekeeper's key can indeed open the attic. I saw some on the attic wall. Pieces of staves written in blood."
"Twelve Movements?"
"Yes."
The twelve movements record the score of "Songs of Gods, Lambs, and Crows", with no lyrics. If you exclude the lyrics, it’s not against any horror story that strange melody appears.
"Is there a straight number under the bed?"
"Yes. The ghosts on the second floor are too powerful. I can't make it. But at a glance, there are more than one hundred and fifty, only more and more."
More than 150, that is equivalent to two years. It can basically be judged from here that it was the person who was kept in the attic and he was keeping records.
When Tang Cuo saw the orthography, there were already more than 30 orthographic characters. In Jin Cheng’s 1926, there were nearly 150 orthographic characters. Then Tang Cuo’s time was around 1924.
This is consistent with his initial inference.
"It's a little weird." Jin Cheng's tone revealed a rare dignity. "I only encountered two ghosts on the second floor. One was a male ghost with cluttered corpses and a female ghost."
"I also encountered the male ghost. I suspect he was a guest visiting the mansion and broke the secret in the house, so the public toilet at the end of the corridor on the second floor was killed."
Jin Cheng hits ghosts all the way, and every moment is a horror of evil spirits. It is simply too late to look for clues. Tang Cuo said he didn't enter the toilet because the ghoul was in the toilet.
The two ghosts occupy one end of the second floor, and it seems that the relationship is not good. Jin Cheng simply used himself as bait to lure the female ghost to the male ghost's site and let them fight. Only then took the opportunity to run up to the attic and had the opportunity to find clues.
"As you say, if the male ghost is a guest, what about the attic guest, Yu Wangnian, and the young lady? Ghosts can pass through walls, unless they are trapped in a certain place by some evil formation. Will not be locked in the house by the door lock." Jin Cheng said.
"Maybe someone hasn't died and escaped, maybe there is room we haven't found yet." Tang Cuo replied.
"This is also possible, but one thing is for sure, the person in the attic is called Mochizuki."
"full moon?"
Tang Cuo suddenly thought of the pocket watch he found in the maid's room, with the word "y" engraved on the back of the pocket watch. Yu Mochizuki, Mochizuki, isn't it y?
Jin Cheng then talked in detail about what he found in the attic-
After being locked up for more than two years, the attic occupants are already going crazy. Whether it's the cluttered clef on the wall written with blood, or the orthography with more and more heavy strokes under the bed, it reveals the owner's increasingly unstable mental state.
The entire attic was in disarray, books were scattered all over the ground, and the only mirror was shattered and thrown on the ground.
Jin Cheng can be sure that it was broken by someone, because the ruler that broke the mirror fell to the side, and there was glass debris on it. Next to the broken mirror, Jin Cheng also picked up several medium-length curls.
The other things in the room were scattered, but still intact, only the mirror was broken, why? It was the man who saw himself in the mirror and could not accept reality, so broke the mirror?
"What about Yu Wangyue? How do you know he is called Wangyue?" Tang Cuo asked.
"There is torn paper on the ground. A man named Lin Wan handed him a letter and said he was going to let him out." Jin Cheng couldn't put together the full text when he picked up the shredded paper, but the recipient and the payment could be seen. clear.
After hearing Tang Cuo's talk about the corpse-breaking case in the toilet, they are all right.
The question is-what is the relationship between Yu Wangyue and Yu Wangnian?
Tang Cuo turned an old fountain pen that was finally found in the maid's room and said, "From the name, this is a brother."
Jin Cheng understood, "Sister-in-law and uncle?"
The two were talking, the sizzling electric current appeared again, and the conversation was about to be cut off. Jin Cheng knew that a ghost had appeared on his side, and was about to seize the time to tell a few words, but the voice of the third person suddenly came on the phone.
"Hello? Anyone? Help!!!!"
